WI-FI and TyTn

[gogol]

Hi,

I am thinking of replacing my Magician with TyTn because the WI-FI is a nice feature to have.

How easy is it ? I mean, configuration wise.

Because I travel a lot and stay in a hotel.

Usually, in the hotel, they offer WI-FI access (mostly you must pay for the service).

What kind of WI-FI connection can be made using TyTn ?

Is there any kind of connection profile that we can configure and choose for ?

Maybe this question is stupid, but I dont have experience with PDA and WI-FI access (as you know that I am using HTC Magician!).

Have you ever used your TyTn to connect to a Hotel WI-FI access?

Thanks for sharing your experience.

Configuring Wi-Fi on TyTN is very easy. With default settings you just need to turn on the wifi and wait for the phone to detect wireless networks.

TyTN supports 802.11b and g (10Mbps/54Mbps)

Dunno about the profiles. You can add accesspoints/ad-hocs and choose which to use.

However, if the wireless lan you connect to is open (no encryption) and uses DHCP you only need one access point for that and theres no need to do anything else.

I have used Wi-Fi access in a bar without any problems. Shouldn't be any different when using it in a hotel if the AP signal is strong enough.

At home, TyTN can't be further than 15-20m from my AP without the signal dropping down to zero.

Wifi configuration is the same in all windows mobile 5 devices, you can connect to a network and store the credentials, so next time you connect to the same network you don't have to reenter them.

Regarding Hotel hotspots, these are usually open networks (no encryption) with a captive portal. Support for PocketPC devices is usually ofered by most companies providing this service and should be no problem in that.

I've used PocketPC devices with wifi to connect in KubiWireless, Boingo, The Cloud and T-Mobile hotspots without problems.

Be aware that the wifi range of the TYTN is tight, and WM5 has some issue with wifi:
-No WPA2 support
-No aes cypher algorythm
-Buggy with PEAP auth + certs
